Multiple Choice
Which of the following statements concerning propagation of action potentials is incorrect?
A) saltatory conduction occurs in myelinated nerve fibers.
B) during conduction by local current flow, there is a flow of current between the active and adjacent inactive area of the cell membrane, thereby decreasing the potential in the inactive area to threshold.
C) the action potential jumps from one Schwann cell to the adjacent Schwann cell in a myelinated fiber.
D) saltatory conduction is faster than conduction by local current flow.
E) conduction by local current flow is the method of propagation in unmyelinated fibers.
